The theme puts focus on the significant impact of conflict and natural disasters, as well as the resultant, multiple risks of human trafficking that many people face. In addition, it addresses the key issue concerning trafficking responses: that most people are never identified as trafficking victims and therefore cannot access most of the assistance or protection provided. 4.

What is the value of N? 1: 6 4: 9 2: 7 5: 4 3: 8 Ans: 4 Solution: With this, total number of APAs signed till date stands at 171 (Bilateral-12 and Unilateral-159).

Is sewage infrastructure a part of these projects? 1: No 4: Probably Yes 2: Meeting minutes still not in public 5: Yes 3: Probably No Ans: 5 © CETS www.conduiraonline.com Replication or other unauthorized use of this material is prohibited. Page 2 of 13 Solution: The focus areas are sewage infrastructure, ghat development and research. Three projects each were approved in sewage sector in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Central Government will provide operation and maintenance cost for 15 years to all these six projects along with 100% central assistance. Also, a research study to understand the non-putrefying properties of river Ganga in both water and sediment was also approved. The study will be an extension of a research carried out by National Environment Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) to identify the special properties of river’s waters. National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) NMCG is the implementation wing of National Council for Rejuvenation, Protection and Management of River Ganga (referred as National Ganga Council).

Both of them are headed by Director General (DG), NMCG. 6. In July of 2017, the scientists from the Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER), Thiruvananthapuram have developed an entity that can suck up oil and congeal it. What is this called as? 1: gelator 4: concealer 2: congealer 5: oiler 3: gelat Ans: 1 Solution: The gelator is hydrophobic material that has property of oleilophilic (oil-loving) and takes up oil when it comes in contact with it. It can be used to recover marine oil spills with a simple, efficient and cost- effective method. The gelator is developed using a cheap raw material mannitol and cellulose pulp through a one-step process. In this process the mannitol gets adsorbed on the cellulose fibre through hydrogen bonding. The adsorption process changes the cellulose matrix from being very hydrophilic (water-loving) to hydrophobic (water repelling). The property of gelator to self-assemble to form micro fibres makes congealing of oil possible and the oil loses its fluidity and gets trapped within the entangled fibrous network to form a rigid gel. Gelation essentially turns the liquid oil into semi-solid and this allows congealed oil to be simply scooped out using a scoop or a sieve. 7. At the Lagos International 2017, C Rahul Yadav clinched the men’s singles title while Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy claimed the men’s doubles title.

In July of 2017, the ‘SAARC Artists Camp and Exhibition of Paintings 2017’ has been scheduled to be held in: 1: Dhaka 4: Thimpu 2: New Delhi 5: Beijing 3: Kathmandu Ans: 3 Solution: As many as 40 artists from India Maldives, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan and Sir Lanka participated in the event. Kishani Jayasinghe - Wijayasekara, deputy director of programs at SAARC Culture Center, Sri Lanka informed, “This year, the theme of the camp and exhibition is ‘Scared Sites and Beauty of Nature’ and the setting of Gokarna Forest Resort will definitely inspire the artists.” The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is the regional intergovernmental organization and geopolitical union of nations in South Asia. Its member states include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, the Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. 9. In July of 2017, Caeleb Dressel won his seventh gold medal of the world championships in swimming and thus joined player X to hold this kind of a distinct record. Identify X. 1: Ryan Lochete 4: Michael Phelps 2: Katie ledecky 5: Ryan Gosling 3: Nathan Adrian Ans: 4 Solution: A day after becoming the first swimmer to win three golds in one night at a major international meet, Dressel joined Phelps in another elite club with seven golds at swimming’s second-biggest competition after the Olympics. Phelps had seven victories at the 2007 worlds — a prelude to his unprecedented eight golds the following year at the Beijing Olympics, although Phelps competed in an era before mixed gender relays.

  • South America, Which They Believe Was Headed for South Africa
    AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST X-1 INCSR 2002 X-2 Africa and the Middle East Angola I. Summary Angola does not have significant drug production, trafficking, or use. Cannabis is cultivated and consumed locally, but in relatively modest quantities. Angolan drug counternarcotics officials report seizures of cocaine coming from South America, which they believe was headed for South Africa. Nigerian traffickers appear involved in this cocaine traffic predominantly from Brazil to South Africa. Angola is the only Southern African Development Community member that has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. II. Status of Country Angola is not a major center of drug production, trafficking, money laundering, or precursor chemical diversion, and it is not likely to become one. In 2001, despite serious resource constraints, the Angolan National Police increased dramatically the amount of cocaine and cannabis they seized. The police attributed the increased number of seizures to the ever-greater emphasis they placed on drug seizures and greater awareness of Angola as a transshipment point for cocaine. III. Country Actions Against Drugs in 2001 Angola has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. There have been no reported cases of public corruption connected to narcotics trafficking. Although Angola has enacted legislation mandating treatment for those convicted of narcotics use, no public treatment centers are available. Angola cooperates with South Africa in fighting the flow of cocaine from Angola to South Africa, and South Africa has offered training and equipment to the Angolan police. Angola also cooperates on a regional basis via SADC, despite its failure to sign the drug protocol.
